Located in east central California, Pinecrest offers wonderful weather to the traveler year-round.

A number of day trips can be made from your Pinecrest lodging. Just up the road is the Columns of the Giants national recreation trail, where you can hike and climb among striking rock formations and columnar cliffs made from basalt lava flow. If you enjoy spending time in quaint shopping districts, visit Twain Harte or Sonora for their many restaurants and art galleries.

One of the main attractions of all our Pinecrest vacation rentals is the proximity of Yosemite National Park. The town is actually less than 15 miles from the park, but that's as the crow flies. If you're not a crow, you'll need to take the hour-long drive around to the park entrance. It is well worth the trip. You can venture into the National Park for incredible vistas. The cliffs, waterfalls, steep mountains and deep lakes in this area were all formed over millions of years by earthquakes, glaciers and other forces of nature. The resulting brilliance almost makes it seem as if Mother Nature is showing off. One of the most famous sights is the granite face of El Capitan, which juts 3000 feet into the clear blue skies. During your time in Yosemite, keep an eye out for adventurous rock climbers scaling its massive heights.

Be sure to leave your Pinecrest lodging well prepared for a day of hiking or biking. And bring your camera! You won't want to miss the spectacular waterfalls which drop hundreds of feet, including the famous Bridal Veil falls and Yosemite Falls. Your excursion may also take you by giant sequoias, mountain lakes and grand meadows. One of the first wilderness parks established as a National Park in the United States, this stretch of wilderness high in the Sierra Nevadas will leave you in awe of its beauty. And you can be a part of it by staying in one of our Pinecrest vacation rentals tucked away in this amazing part of the country.

In the other direction, you might enjoy a visit to Calaveras Big Trees State Park. Here you can hike or bike among groves of giant sequoias. At the end of the day, you'll be grateful for the comfort and convenience of our Pinecrest vacation rentals.
